Gould and Garrett.

The last words which Robert Gar.
felt hurled back from the rear plat
rorm of a special train that was car
rying him to a palace in Mexico
were: "Don't let Jay Gould steal
the State of Maryland before I get
back Mr.. Gould says that he
thinks that Garrett has been SUBJ
ject to fits Of mental alteration for
several years. Ia letter to j. P.
Morgan, the head of the Baltimore
and Ohio syndicate, Mr.. Gould says:
1T might be well to contradict the
current report that undue advantage
was taken Of Mr.. Garrett in the sale
of the telegraph lines to the Western
Union Company. The negotiations
for this sale, including large inter-
est in the stock Of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad, were first opened with
me by Mr.. Garrett personally during
a sail or the Atlanta to Irvingtou
early in June, 1886, in company with
Messrs. Cowan and King, of the Bal
timore and Ohio Company
LAS Mr.. Garrett was then just
leaving for Europe. he informed me
he had left full power with Messrs.
Cowan aud King to consummate the
sale during his absence. These nego-
tiations, which were temporarily sus
pended during the prospective sales
to Messrs. Sully and Ives, were again
resumed before Mr.. Garrett's recent
trip to Europe, eliminating finally in
the sale by the syndicate to the West
ern Union Company"

HOW PERSIAN WOMEN BATTLE.
The Story Of One Who Had the Luck
to See it All.
st. James Gazette.

The bath takes up a good deal Of
the time of all Persian women. Even
the poorest will attend the Hamman
at least once week For the lady,
the bath is one of the serious affairs
of life, and takes up daily from two
to four hours. 1t is something more
than our idea of bath. The victim
is scraped and rubbed and parboiled.
The soles of the feet are pumiced un.
til they are soft and tender as those
Of little child. The hair is thor
oughly washed by means Of hot water
and spacious clay, for which Shiraz
is celebrated.
Then tue attendants mix in bra.
zen bowl the aromatic henna with
the requisite amount of lemon juice,
till brown paste of the consistency
of cruel is produced, and several
handfuls OF the repulsive looking
compound are smeared over the Ia.
dy's head. Then the hair, collected
into mass, is bound up in cabbage
over the eyebrows. The soles of the
feet, the toes, the palm of the hands
and the finger tips are also covered
with it. And now the lady has to
sit perfectly still for from one to
three hours, till, like meerschaum
pipe, she colors, and it is exactly the
color obtained of the best specimens
of pipes that is most fashionable
among the Persian ladies. Day after
day the bath is thronged with women,
each sitting perfectly still for the
color to "take." But they have their
reward. for the henna dyes the hair
bsautiful, deep, warm chestnut;
hence gray hair is unknown among
Persian ladies. While the coloring
process has been going on tongues
have been running and good deal
has been exchanged. The female
barber, with pair of tweezers, has
removed every outlaying hair from
the lady's eyebrows. 1t is the ambi-
ton of every Persian woman that
her eyebrows shall meet, or at least
appear to do 80. So attractive are
eyebrows that meet that they are
called the "bridge O I'VE" The
first care, then, of the sian beauty
is with pencil of antimony to unite
her eyebrows, and then she proceeds
to n Ike them appear of unnatural
thi, ness; her eyelashes are pen.
ciled, too, in a manner not unknown
to our own countrywomen. by this
time the lady will have smoked many
kalians or water pipes, she will have
partaken of tea. and RECALLED herself
With coffee; iced sherbets, too, will
not have been wanting. Her finger
tips, nails and palms, as we'll as the
soles Of her feet and her toes have
attained a bright chestnut hue, which
will last q week. The hair is care
fully washed once more. 1t is sell
dom under a yard long, often much
more, for the Persian woman never
cuts her hair, except in front, per-
haps, when two heavy forelocks are
left on either side of the face. The
ladies now return home to their noon
day breakfasts. After breakfast
there is generally siesta, and this
iu hot country is almost q aecessi-
ty. About 4 o'clock tea and pipes
appear, and then the lady receives
callers or pays visits, or perhaps,
does little shopping, or taxes the
air mounted on her ambling mule or
a donkey of snowy Whiteness.

A Government Teller G one TO Canada

New YORK, October 27.-The SUBJ
treasury has now its representative in
Canada in the person of Henry Jack
son, its paying teller. He has gone
with exactly $4,000 OF Uncle Sans
money, but there is this satisfaction
for the treasury official, that Jack
son might have taken more. He did
not, however, have access to the
vaults, as the more stringent rules
concerning admission to the vaults
were made under the present assistant
treasurer.
jackson took the money, as AS
sistant Treasurer Canada said to-day,
on last Saturday, the day of his de-
parture. His cash was carefully ex.
amined on the 18th instant and found
to be correct. On the 18th, when
Jackson was absent through illness,
his accounts were again gone over
and no deficit found. On Monday
morning last the discovery was
made and measures were taken to
intercept him, his default meanwhile
being kept secret.
Mr.. Canda said to-day: Il know
no way that bas been devised to pre-.
vent paying tellers in banks or other
institutions from taking part of the
money necessarily committed to
their charge if they are dishonest
Jackson was appointed in Feb
ruary, 1879, and was recommended
by several of the most influential
men in the city. He was previously
in the National Currency Bank and
other financial institutions Of this
city, occupying smaller salaried po-
sitions. When he was appointed he
was promoted successfully until he
reached position Of paying teller at
$4,000 per annum under the present
assistant treasurer
He was self-possessed and capa-
bic man. Jackson was not under
bonds. so Mr.. Canda spoke Of the
default Of SlS5.000, under Assistant
Treasurer Millhouse, Of several
years ago, showing that this is not
the first loss of the kind to the treas
ury.

Prosperity Press and Reporter.
There was good attendance, and
an interesting meeting was held.
Rev. W. W. Orr, of Huntersville,

excellent presiding officer.
Among other business transacted
it was decided to strengthen the mis-:
sionary force in Mexico, and Rev. j.
S. A. Hunter and wife, of Arkansas,
were elected and ordered to that
field of labor. Mrs. Hunters parents
were natives of Newberry Couoty,
and resided in the Head Springs
community. She has number OF
relatives in this county who will al.
ways have an abiding interest in her
welfare.
Prof. J. n. Young, of Due West,
who has served as Treasurer of Ers-
kline College for period of about 40
wears. sent in his resignation, which
was accepted. Geo. S. Mower, Esq :,
of Newberry, was elected to NIL this
responsible position. The Treasurer
handles about 100000 or its equi1a.
lent.
An interesting feature of the
meeting was the report of Synods
Treasurer, which showed that all of
the obligations had been met.
It was found that Synod had more
calls for ministers than it could at
present supply.
Prosperity church came within one
vote of being selected as the next
place of meeting. Synod will con-
yene next time at Potts Station,

Bad Behavior in Church.
Neubery Observer.

Newberry has always had good
record on church behavior; but there
is danger that that record will be
bro.;en. There was some ugly be-
hayior in one Of the churches last
Sunday-morning and night. Some
young men or boys annoyed and dis
turbed their neighbors very much by
whispering and giggling during the
services. This sort Of behavior
must stop. Such conduct cannot be
tolerated. The offending ones should
cease such behavior on their OWL
account; for nothing so reflects on 8
boys good sense and good breeding
as to see LIN misbehave in church.
Besides that, they have no right to
disturb others. If they must talk.
let them select some other place than
q church.

Laws Which Need Modification.
A6berWe Press uu1 Banner.


The last term Of the Criminal
Court at Abbeville furnishes one
more proof that our laws need modi.
fcation, or else the salaries of our
judges should come down.
At the term Of the court there were
absolutely no cases, which, we think,
deserved the attention of a judge and
solicitor whose salaries are $500
and $1,000 a year. To our mind
nothing could be more absurd than a
$500 judge, a $1,000 solicitor, with
the sheriff, the clerk Of the Court, and
twelve respectable gentlemen, repre-
senting every quarter of the county
setting solemn form to try negro
charged with stealing IS cents worth
Of chickens-and yet such case
was brought into the court.
Another case wss that of negro
charged with stealing two pigs, the
value of which was alleged to be So
each. The negro has lain in Jail for
months. he has been tried twice,
occupying a good part of the day
each time, and the jury in each in.
stance failed to agree on a verdict.
The negro is still in Jail. and by the
time he will be tried again, and per.
haps then acquitted, he will have
been fed some fourteen months at 80
cents day-board bill alone costing
the innocent tax payers Of Abbeville
County over 500, besides the time Of
the court, the pay of jurors, witnesses
and constables-to say nothing of:
the committing trial Justices COSTS:
The recital might be continued to
the end. They ere all of minor i'm.
portance.
What we mean to say is, that either
the salary of the judge ought to be
reduced to $1,000 year, or else the
dignity and responsibility of the Office
should not be degraded by toe trial
of such cases. If there is trial jus
tice in Abbeville County who couldn't
try a chicken thief, he ought to be
deprived of his office.
